Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Jamaree Caldwell at No. 179 will need to, sitting 104 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Josh Downs gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 45th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to No. 73, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A big swing on Alfred Collins at slot 74, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the 169th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gunnar Helm in the 170th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 171st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 172 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 179 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They paid sticker price for Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
